Hi All,
I'm new to this but I just wanted to vent so I apologize if I dont reply soon because my wife and son say that I spend too much time on the computer. I went to the Counselor last week and He said that I have Depression, Anxiety and ADHD. I am going to see Doctor for meds, I am scared, but if medication and counseling can help me with my life and especially my family then I will do anything it takes.
When I was in my early teens (I'm 27 now) and I could recognize feelings and really know how I react or do things so to speak I have always felt something different. When I took the adhd test which I knew I would pass haha.. I totally fit, almost to a T the symtoms of ADHD and the rest. I know that growing up it was really hard, especially when people say to you things like your lazy, stupid, "Don't you get it", "what's wrong with you", or the other thing that I notice every time which is that look, you know the look that poeple do when they stare at something, that blank stare or when people just ignore you. Things like those really shoot down my self-esteem and tear me up inside.
I could go on and on but I would be here all day. I just want to say that for years untill I noticed things about myself I thought that I was the only one in the world that felt this way untill now, because when my son was diagnosed with autism and when we developed a treatment plan for him (no meds) I took a hard look at myself and it took some time to admit that I have a problem and to finally do something about it.
So on that note I will wrap it up, but I guess if I can relate to you guys then I am in the right place. I will keep in touch and let you know my progress..
Thx
